  • Patent number: 8759632
    Abstract: The present invention provides isolated nucleic acids comprising nucleotide sequences encoding isoprenoid modifying enzymes, as well as recombinant vectors comprising the nucleic acids. The present invention further provides genetically modified host cells comprising a subject nucleic acid or recombinant vector. The present invention further provides a transgenic plant comprising a subject nucleic acid. The present invention further provides methods of producing an isoprenoid compound, the method generally involving culturing a subject genetically modified host cell under conditions that permit synthesis of an isoprenoid compound modifying enzyme encoded by a subject nucleic acid.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 5760741
    Abstract: A multiple beam antenna system (10) for use in satellite communications. The system (10) includes a feed array (20) containing multiple feed elements (22) which operate in connection with communications beams. In a transmitter application, the feed elements (22) are driven by feed signals delivered thereto from a beam forming network (14). The beam forming network includes multiple beam ports (16) which receive as inputs composite beam signals. The beam forming network includes feed ports (18) as outputs which deliver feed signals to the feed array (20). The beam forming network (14) includes a divider circuit trace (48) and a combiner circuit trace (46) aligned along substantially parallel planes. Combiners (111-117) within the combiner circuit trace (46) are arranged in clusters (92), such that each combiner (111-117) within a cluster (92) operates in conjunction with a common feed signal.
